Hi everyone, I am a vintage collector and this forum has helped me SO much in discovering unique and rare pieces. It helped me a lot in understanding how to spot fakes and I can’t thank enough all the experts here!

I thought to collect all in one place all the information regarding the Fendi holograms, hope you can help me too!

I have seen the following formats on authentic bags:

1. First row: 1 letter / second row: 6 numbers
2. One row only: 2 letters / 5 numbers
3. One row only: 2 letters/ 7 numbers
4. One row only: 6 numbers only

Holograms were first introduced in 2004 and then replaced by RFID in 2010.
All holograms are unique. No real fendi bags shares the same holograms.

Do you know any other valid hologram formats and/or do you know if any of the formats were used on specific model/years only?

Also in the “authenticate this Fendi” thread, I saw a user referring to a “fake Fendi holograms serial numbers list”. Do you know where I can find it for my future reference?

Let’s share our knowledge!

Thank you for this info! I was wondering why I had 1 letter on a row alone with the 6 numbers underneath it. I was concerned when I first saw that format. Lol

Hello,

I just bought a very pretty bag from the 1970s, and it seems to be a Dior, but I’m not certain because there is no indication inside the bag. Can someone tell me what they think by looking at the photos?

Thank you very much,

Fabienne

Hey lovelies! I've been having a minor obsession over the horizon since seeing one in the wild a few weeks ago and can't find much info on how it wears.
Has anyone had a bad experience with it? How much repair work does LV offer for the horizon? Are the wheels durable and really "the most comforable" as per the website?
How does wear on the aluminium show?
Are these microchipped too or do they have serial no.s still?

Photos would be MUCH appreciated! 🤍
Thank you!

I think the heart tag looks a bit young. I have and love the pave in medium/pave and love it and the smile line in general. It’s a happy collection. That gets my vote.

Hi all Candy Cassette owner, especially lambskin bag, can anyone double confirm with me if the serial number was inside the pocket? I just ordered mine and mine was in the pocket, but when I saw the pic online, I can't see the serial code tag inside (attached in green colour)? Ordered mine from ssense sale but just wondering why I can't find any pic of serial number tag online.

Thanks for all the responses! Do those of you that have it stack it with other bracelets or are you too afraid of scratching the guilloche ?

When I stack mine with my carnelian 5 motif and I feel like royalty. I have a MOP 5 motif but I don’t think it looks as good with that. The white of the MOP takes away from the diamond motifs IMO. I wear it all the time (except no swim, bathing, exercise, or sleep) and it looks great but I’ve only had it a month. I like how I can occasionally just wash it with soap and water while I’m wearing it and it shines up super sparkly.

Note - the pink gold at Graff is the pinkest of all the brands I've seen thus far.

Looks very copper-y.

Hello everyone. This is my first post…
I need help to choose my next piece. I will post a photo of my collection. What do you think I should add first? Interested in VA pave pendant and BTFR in malachite, but I am open to new ideas. Thank you!

Yah I don’t mind paying some over retail even a grand, but then you add the tax and duty gets a little crazy lol

Thankfully I haven’t run into duty fees but the reseller prices are crazy but there is no other way to get the items that I missed. I like that some resellers have the layaway option. It makes it not sting as much!

I just got Burberry cashmere Hooded reversPoncho and I was debating to return since it’s so nice and wasn’t sure I will wear normal days to go work … but once you were it… never look back to wool cape/ poncho… so soft and cozy. I’m glad I decided to keep it.

I buy them in the color of my bag. So I would have bought the black if the bag is black.

Thank you!!

It was resolved, thank goodness! I went to a boutique in person (had to travel since there aren’t any boutiques near me.)
The bracelet went out again for repair and when the SA received it back, she said the second repair was not up to standards and they were able to exchange it.
I did not have the option to switch to something different. I would have preferred a cuff with no mechanism. And there is not a warranty on the replacement.
I’m happy to report that the new one has ZERO issues and it locks very tightly. No wiggling, nor hair pulling. It’s perfect 🙌
And now I actually have two of them. I love the small size. Very discreet and beautiful.

That is so good to hear and very reassuring ! Thank you for the update I really appreciate it 😊

I have a friend based in Texas and she mentioned she got invited to a Valentine's Day event.
She was not exactly sure what it entails - her SA mentioned they will showcase new stock.

New stock depends on how recently they have visited the boutique. At least for my flagship store on the west coast, bags are being flown in specifically for the event of February 9. It coincides with Super Bowl Sunday every year. For those new invitees, it is a fun event that tends to be a chance for a QB with some additional RTW spend. Please do not spend unless you really want the RTW or FJ. Regardless, always accept the invitation and enjoy the pampering and the fashion and have fun.

Hi all - I was conditioning my lady Dior bag and noticed what looks like a tear? Is this fixable? I’ve only used the bag maybe 3-4 times total, and store it in its dust bag in a dark, dry area. Any advice would be appreciated!

They can replace the handle for a fee. Also, this can happen again if you use the shoulder strap (seeme like the rubbing of the clasp caused this).

Or you can buy a Mitzah scarf for the handles and conceal the spot with it, which will also prevent further damage to the handles.

My wishlist this year was Polene bags in their camel color and the Teri Hobo shoulder bag from Coach.

Congratulations on this beautiful collection and on dodging death. I think such experiences tell us that life can indeed be too short and I have always thought that as long as you can afford these purchases, then why the hell not :-)

Some people spend fortunes on iPhones and tech gadgets, I spend fortunes on handbags aha

I love your Dior collection too, especially the one with the stars and bees, so cute! I have always been fascinated with the Dior story for sure.
